Incredible clearwing butterfly! Cithaerias pyropina, the Phantom Butterfly, has transparent wings with purple and pink spots. These are more difficult to find for sale than the pink clearwings.
Note: Unless you select "Wings Spread Open" option, your butterfly will ship unmounted with wings folded closed. A link with video instructions on how to open your butterflies wings will be included for free.
Note: If you select the "Wings Spread Open' option, your butterfly will come ready to be immediately framed, used in artwork, or added to your collection. Please note that shipping spread butterflies is EXTREMELY risky and therefor all spread butterflies are sold As-Is because of possible damage during transit.
We work really hard to find great, ethical farms around the world. 'Insect ranching' has been shown to dramatically aid conservation and increase insect numbers in the wild, as well as giving local, indigenous people a sustainable income source other than logging. Protecting insects means protecting the habitat they live in. This benefits every plant and animal sharing this habitat. Sustainable butterfly farming gives local populations an alternative to logging and clear-cutting rain-forest. The forests are preserved, critical habitat for endangered species is maintained, and butterfly populations increase. Everything we source is sustainably sourced and 100% legally imported.
